Fall Lures
#1
Rapala Original Floater Size 7
Color: Silver · Size: 2.75 inch
Cast near structure and rocky points; work with sharp 12–18 inch jerks followed by 3–5 second pauses. Let the bait suspend and twitch subtly during the pause—cold water bass will mouth it.
53°F water demands slow, suspending presentations; recent rain and steady pressure favor a proven minnow profile that mimics post-rain forage movement; clear water and bright sun require natural silver finish and finesse approach.
#2
Berkley PowerBait Finesse Jig 1/8 oz
Color: Crawdad · Size: 1/8 oz
Pitch to rocky structure, drop-offs, and deeper points; use a slow lift-and-drop cadence with long pauses (5–10 seconds) on the bottom. Let the jig sit; cold-water bass will inhale it.
Cold 53°F water and midday bright sun push bass to deeper structure; finesse jig with crawdad profile matches Folsom's natural forage and works in clear water; steady pressure favors subtle presentations.
#3
Mepps Aglia Spinner Size 2
Color: Silver/Black · Size: 1/6 oz
Cast toward windblown rocky banks and points; retrieve steadily with occasional pauses. The 12 mph wind concentrates baitfish along structure—work the blade slowly to trigger reaction bites in cold water.
12 mph wind pushes baitfish to windblown banks; silver blade provides flash in clear water without overstimulation; slow-roll spinner is a proven cold-water reaction bait that works when finesse alone stalls.
